dwain Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks guys, where do you pack it Dwain i know your near me? And how is it different what do/did you use? my dad and i worked on nackinton farm in canterbury.the farm had there own pack house with there own vacuum cooler and ice making machine.as for the lettuce rig the rig whent over 5 beds of lettuce at a time a lady would cut the lettuce behind the rig and put the lettuce onto table on the back of the rig where a woman standing on the rig would take the lettuce and put it on a wrapping table where the lettuce would be put in clingfilm and sealed with a hot iron which was powerd by a generator which was fixed to the front of the tractor(flat 60-80),the lettuce was then put into a box and transported to the packhouse on ex-army unimogs and bedford lorries where thay where vacuum cooled and put into cold storage to go out on artic lorries to supermarkets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillview Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I am looking pictures of Mini veg packers which are used for cabbages and caulis please as I want to get a model one made. Can anybody tell me if rowcrops are used on the tractor rigs. Pictures would be great if possible. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
